As London becomes the epicenter of coronavirus in the U.K., Prince William, and Kate Middleton will surely want to protect their kids from the pandemic. As Prince George and Princess Charlotte's school already suspended its regular classes, will the Cambridges move to their Norfolk estate to keep their children safe?
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's kids are still young. Prince George is only six while her sister, Princess Charlotte, is four. Their youngest brother, Prince Louis, is just about to turn two years old in April.
Mostly, the Cambridge family is based in Kensington Palace. Prince George and Princess Charlotte's school, Thomas's Battersea, is also nearby. But as the coronavirus outbreak is getting worse, is it possible for them to move to Norfolk to keep the kids safe?
According to Express, Queen Elizabeth II gifted Prince William and Kate Middleton a royal residence at Anmer Hall in Norfolk for their wedding in 2011. It is just near Her Majesty's Sandringham Estate and maybe a safer place now that there is a pandemic.
They usually stay at Anmer during the school holidays. Now that the school is close down in line with the Government's advice to avoid mass gatherings, it seems to be a reasonable move. Kensington Palace has yet to comment on the issue, but knowing how they love the outdoors, there is a strong possibility about it.
People reported that Prince George and Princess Charlotte would be home schooled after Thomas's Battersea asked its students' parents to keep their kids at home. With the increasing number of pupils and school staff being absent due to the coronavirus outbreak, Thomas's London Day Schools decided to move to remote learning starting on March 20.
Prince William and Princess Charlotte's first two kids will continue their studies at home through the internet. This practice, Business Insider noted, is being followed by students around the world as the coronavirus affects school calendars all together.
Their curriculum will be uploaded on online learning platforms, and Thomas's Battersea asked parents to access their lessons through this system. "This will ensure that children have continuity of learning when they are unable to attend school," the school said in a statement.
Anyhow, for parents who can't keep their kids at home, the school will remain open until the last day of the semester, which will fall on March 26. Hence, Prince William and Kate Middleton's kids and the rest of the students will only miss four days of in-person learning at the most.
